EXCLUSIVE: Hot package du jour: TWC/Dimension is developing a TV reboot of Frank Miller’s iconic comic series Sin City. This one will hew closely to the graphic novels, with a fresh take by writer Glen Mazzara, the showrunner whose resume includes The Shield, The Walking Dead and The Omen.

How can something simultaneously adhere closer to the original comics and take place in an expanded universe that has nothing to do with them? I really wish this would be a purely animated show; there hasn’t been a serious American primetime animated show since INVASION AMERICA almost 20 years ago.

Horrible idea unless they stick with the hard “R” that the 2 movies had. It’s a shame that the 2 movies didn’t do as good at the box office like it should have. There’s nothing like those 2 movies on the market and they had wonderful performances

Looking forward to this. Thought the films were shot and rendered fantastically, but found the writing uninspired and needlessly repetitive. However true to the graphic novel, film is a very different medium. Less is more. Perhaps in smaller slices it will wear better. Also; if they shoot it the style the films were, they could use some A list talent because of the short time commitment of shooting things greenscreen. Fingers crossed they pull it off.

“Hew closely” to the comic books but a “far departure” from the films??? Frank Miller who created the franchise worked on both films which reflected, probably too closely, the comic books. And they trumpet new characters, but you better have Marv as a central figure or I don’t know who you’re making this for.

That said, a great property if they have a real vision for it, which I really doubt Harvey does, but maybe Mazzara & Wiseman do. Would love to see this work but a strange article.

Are Frank Miller and Robert Rodriquez directly and intimately involved? If not then no thank you…
